Is this in any way similar to Michelin stars? I think the award is specific to Austria. Thanks for any suggestions! The text is below:


Das seit einem Jahrzehnt mit 2 Hauben ausgezeichnete Restaurant Hecht bietet im Rahmen der Halbpension ein À la Carte Wahlmenü im Rahmen des neuen Küchenkonzepts „r120“.

agree  Yorkshireman: Quotes from the Web: With 3 toque-awarded restaurants, Matrei has much to offer when it comes to cuisine: Saluti, the only pizzeria awarded with two toques by Gault Millau. The Gault Millau Austria 2014 has arrived and with it a new four-toque ...

  -> Thanks Edith :o) I also take Wendy's point, but I would stick to the official term of the grading system used by Gault Millau. Maybe 'chef's hat' could finds its place in a bracket after toques?

Explanation:
"Haube" (Austrian German) in this case refers to a chef's cap. They are awarded to outstanding chefs much like Michelin stars.
